1..You first started riding in Mulbring, but what got you interested in speedway in the first place?
It was my family's sport but I had a real passion for Speedway since as far back as I can remember...
2..We've seen some poor tracks this season, especially in the GP series. What, in your opinion, gives the best racing, and do you prefer big tracks or smaller tracks?
I like watching racing on smaller tracks. It's more about the skill of the rider than the engine he chose to ride in the meeting...
3..You didn't go through the GP qualifying series last year. Did you prefer to concentrate on the leagues, and do you think you'll enter next time around?
I don't see me wanting to go down that road. I would like to be one of the top guys in whichever of the leagues I am racing in, I don't think you need to be a GP rider to achieve this...
4..You've had a great season with Lakeside, and are still contracted to them. Can you see yourself back there for 2008?
Yes, I did a two year contract and am very pleased to be going back there...
5..Are there any young Australians you think we should be keeping an eye on for the future?
My neighbour Richard Sweetman is doing really well. His family are from the property across the road. He wants to finish his trade before coming to race professionally which, I think is a very good idea. However, he would do well enough to earn a living even now...
6..You've done a fair bit of guesting this year. Has the extra track time helped with experience, or was it more tiring than anything?
It is a little tiring but so is getting up to go to the office or whatever kind of job you have. This is my job and like most people I am always glad of a little overtime...
7..Are you hoping to be riding in Sweden again next year?
I did a two year contract with my team Bajen...
8..What do you hope the future holds for you after speedway?
Not exactly sure which is a little scary when you consider that it is not far away. I am hoping to be able to be around for another 10 years...
